I'm Ren | Cat Sitting in New York, NY

Hey I'm Ren(Renaisa)! I've been a cat sitter for over a decade now but new to Meowtel. NYC native (Spiderman's spot), my jokes sometimes land, and rescue mom. I service all of Queens, the edges of LI + BK, and most of Manhattan. Why me? 🔥Guarantee: you will get detailed notes. I try to schedule meet and greets early so you know how I work. Snacks like Churus are on stand by (if your cat allows). I keep you posted on any movements in the space as you'd prefer. I send pictures + videos, as often as you'd like. 💊 I'm experienced with cats going through long term health changes. Diabetes, kidney issues, Felv+, you name it. My own cats had similar struggles. It takes a lot of resilience, heart and...

Learn More About Ren

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Creating a bond with each cat! It's so rewarding when they can smell me and tell that I'm a new friend with treats. It can start with lots of slow blinking and positive associations.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I had a yapper! His name is Chicken. He's a grumpy, white puffy Persian. He's the big ball with gold eyes in my pictures.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

Have a chat with any sitter before you schedule, and ideally a meet and greet. Please tell them anything they need to know about your cats, like your pet's medical history, hiding places, dosing times, and cleaning schedules. Better to be safe! Frequently Asked Question (FAQ): Why do a 45-60 minute session? Answer: It's for the classic, thorough, detailed pet sitting experience. If you have any number of cats with medical issues, those longer sessions are your best option for everyone's peace of mind. 20 minute sessions are really for situations where you have a single cat, no medical issues, need a quick/auto food and litter check, minimal cleaning, pets or playtime.

Michelle

We had such a great experience with Ren watching our cat, Mush Mush. Ren was incredibly attentive and detail-oriented, which gave us real peace of mind - especially since Mush Mush is diabetic and requires special care. Ren made sure his insulin and feeding schedule were followed exactly, and kept us updated throughout. It was clear Ren truly cared and took the responsibility seriously. We wouldn’t hesitate to trust Ren with Mush Mush again!

Ren was an excellent sitter! I was able to book her on short notice due to an impromptu trip, and she couldn’t have been more accommodating. She was fantastic with my two cats—especially my younger one, who usually hides from new people but actually came out and interacted with her. Ren kept me updated throughout with plenty of photos and videos, which gave me great peace of mind. She also left my apartment just as clean and tidy as I left it. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.

Ren was absolutely fantastic. I was a little nervous leaving my rescue boy for nearly 2 weeks, but Ren really came through for us. She sent me daily updates with pics/video and took care of Hank like he was her own. Next time I have an extended trip, there will be no worries if Ren is around!
